Borussia Dortmund significantly boosted its profits over the past six months, despite recording considerably higher wage costs.

These findings are according to the publicly traded company's published half-year report for the 2025-26 financial year.

BVB was able to raise its pre-tax earnings to €23.2million, compared to just €8.8million in the second half of the previous season.

Total net income even doubled to €18.7million, however he biggest expense remains the budget for paying the club's personnel.

Salary expenditures endured a sharp hike from €118.1million to a whopping €129.3million during the same period.

In contrast, the Westphalians generated a large surplus from transfers – increasing from €21.2million in six months to €54.9million.

This rise primarily due to the transfer of Jamie Gittens, who left Dortmund for Premier League side Chelsea in July for almost €56million.
